First time Polisher question

Posted by admin on September 17th, 2009 at 10:05pm

Hello
I am new to ; I am trying to polish the Stainless Steel trim on a 1947 Plymouth. I received my order from Caswell and started in on one of the larger Pieces the rocker panel. I followed " Stainless Steel" from this web page as below.

1st Stage – Rough Cut to Remove Scratches
Use Sisal Wheel with Emery (Black) Compound
2nd Stage – Final Cut and Initial Polish
Use Spiral Sewn Wheel with Stainless Steel (Green) Compound
3rd Stage – Final Polish (or Luster)
Use Spiral Sewn Wheel with Stainless Steel (Green) Compound

After stage 2 I had hundreds of scratches on the piece and stage 3 does not remove them. Where have I gone wrong?
